IMPROVEMENT IN PLows.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N0. 105,53l, dated July 19,1870.

`.To all whom it may con/cern.:

Be it known that I, GEORGE WHARTON, of Jerseyville, in the county of Jersey and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Plows; and Ido hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description of the same, reference being had .to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon. 1

This invention has for its object the production ofy a plow which Vshall be capable of adjustment at the foot of the standard; and it hconsists in the combination of a'curving beam, standard, and mold-board, as 4will be fully described hereinafter.

`In the drawings, Figure l represents a side elevation; Fig. 2, a plan View of my improved plow, and Fig. 3 a partial view of the standand beam. f

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will now proceed to describe fully its construction and operation.`

A represents the plow-beam, which is preferably constructed of iron and of the swanneck form; B represents the standard; C, the share; D, the landside, and E E the handles. The beam and handlesare .pivoted 'to the top of the standard by a bolt, as shown in Fig.

' l. The lower and rear end of the beam is sep front end of `thebeam is accomplished, when desired, by removing the bolt and moving the beam until the desired hole is brought in line with the orifice of the standard, when it may be again secured as gbefore. It will be observed, also, that the front ends of the handles are provided with orifices, by means of between the beam and the mold-board is very large, which fact especially fits the plow for use in stubble or trashyland.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

rlhe plow described, provided with the curving beam A, standard B, and plow C, when the plow is rigidly attached to the standard and the beam is. adjusted substantially as described, for the purpose set forth.

This specification signed and witnessed this 17th day of December, 1869.
